Objective To study the influence factors of surgical site infection (SSI) after hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. Methods Fifty patients suffered from SSI after hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery who treated in Feng,nan District Hospital of Tangshan City from April 2010 and April 2015 were retrospectively collected as observation group, and 102 patients who didn’t suffered from SSI after hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery at the same time period were retrospectively collected as control group. Then logistic regression was performed to explore the influence factors of SSI. Results Results of univariate analysis showed that, the ratios of patients older than 60 years, combined with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, had abdominal surgery history, had smoking history, suffered from the increased level of preoperative blood glucose , suffered from preoperative infection, operative time was longer than 180 minutes, American Societyof Anesthesiologists (ASA) score were 3-5, indwelled drainage tube, without dressing changes within 48 hours after surgery, and new injury severity score (NISS) were 2-3 were higher in observation group (P＜0.05). Results of logistic regression analysis showed that, patients had history of abdominal surgery (OR=1.92), without dressing changes within 48 hours after surgery (OR=2.07), and NISS were 2-3 (OR=2.27) had higher incidence of SSI (P＜0.05). Conclusion We should pay more attention on the patient with abdominal surgery history and with NISS of 2-3, and give dressing changes within 48 hours after surgery, to reduce the incidence of SSI.
Objective To evaluate the results of operative treatment of complex acetabular fractures and to investigate its influence factors. Methods From June 2000 to August 2006, 54 patients with complex acetabular fractures were treated, including 44 males and 10 females aged 20-75 years old (average 39.1 years old). Fractures were due to traffic accidentin 40 cases, fall ing from high places in 8 cases and crush by heavy objects in 6 cases. All cases were fresh and close fractures and the time from injury to operation was 5-72 days. There were 5 cases of posterior column and posterior wall fracture, 25 of transverse and posterior wall fracture, 2 of T-type fracture, and 22 of double column fracture. During operation, Kocker- Lagenbach approach was used in 23 cases, anterior il ioinguinal approach was appl ied for 3 cases and the combination of anterior and posterior approaches was performed on 28 cases. AO reconstructive plate and screw internal fixation were used in all the cases. Results Fifty-two cases were followed up for 12-74 months (average 31.3 months). Anatomical reduction was achieved in 23 cases, satisfactory reduction in 19 cases, poor reduction in 10 cases, and the excellent and good rate reached 80.77%. During operation, 1 case suffered from a tear in the external il iac vein and healed after vein repair; 2 cases had sciatic nerve injury and took mecobalamin as oral administration, one of them fully recovered, and the other had incomplete recovery at 18-month follow-up. At the final follow-up, there were 6 cases of severe heterotopic ossification, one of them received heterotopic bone resection and the rest 5 patients received conservative treatment; there were 9 cases of traumatic osteoarthritis, one of them received total hip replacement and the rest 8 patients received conservative treatment; there were 5 cases of avascular necrosis of the femoral head, two of them received total hip replacement, 1 received no further treatment because the femoral head didn’ t collapse, and the rest 2 patients gave up total hip replacement; 75.00% patients were graded as excellent and good according to the modified Merled’Aubigné-Postel hip score system. Patients’ qual ity of l ife was compared with local population normsmatched for age and sex by using SF-36 scales, their overall score were below the local population norms, and their general health, vital ity, role l imitation due to emotional problems and mental health were comparable to the local population norms. Logistic regression analysis revealed the time to reduce hip dislocation, qual ity of fracture reduction nd traumatic arthritis were independent risk factors affecting postoperative functional outcomes. Conclusion Applying open reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of displaced complex acetabular fractures has a satisfying therapeutic effect. Time to reduce hip dislocation, qual ity of fracture reduction as well as traumatic arthritis are independent risk factors affecting postoperative functional outcomes.
Objective To investigate the medical charge of in-patients with diabetes and its influencing factors for effective hospital costs controlling. Methods The inpatients with diabetes (the first diagnosis was diabetes; the first three ICD-10 codes of which were between E10 to E14) in Fifth Peoples' Hospital of Chengdu during January to September of 2014 were analyzed for their hospital costs with descriptive statistical method, ANOVA and multiple linear regression method. Statistical analysis was conducted by using SPSS 18.0 software. Results A total of 1 389 cases of diabetes were included. The median of total medical costs and daily costs were 4 554.45 yuan and 446.46 yuan, respectively. The differences of total medical costs and daily costs between diabetes patients with different amount of complications were statistically significant (P<0.001). The factors including age, the way of the medical expense, the number of complications, with acute complications, CCI score and the hospital-stay length were proved to be significantly correlated to total medical costs of diabetes inpatients (P<0.05). Conclusion Age, the way of the medical expense, the number of complications, with acute complications, CCI score and the hospital-stay length are influence factors of medical costs of diabetes inpatients.
Valvular heart disease is one of the common diseases in cardiac surgery. Surgery is the main treatment for valvular heart disease. Cardiac valve replacement surgery corrects the disordered haemodynamics, but the quality life of patients may be affected by multiple factors, such as the disease itself, treatment measures, long-term postoperative anticoagulant and follow-up. This article will provide an overview of the quality of life (origin and definition, evaluation) and the quality of life of patients after cardiac valve replacement (the purpose and significance of quality of life assessment, the quality of life of patients after cardiac valve replacement at different times and different dimensions, influencing factors of the quality of life of patients after surgery), aiming to provide clinical evidence for patients to make decisions before surgery and for clinical medical staff to take intervention measures for patients after surgery.
Malignant tumors are the major diseases which threat human beings. Anti-cancer medicines play important roles in the treatment of malignant tumors, especially for the new targeted therapies. They bring the life hope for cancer patients who were sentenced to death, and improve quality of life, and some patients may achieve normal lifetime. However, the new anti-cancer medicines are usually too expensive to afford, and most of them have not yet been included in Chinese public health security system, the accessibility of the new anti-cancer medicines is seriously limited. This paper introduces the accessibility of high-cost anti-cancer medicines in China, analyzes the influence factors, and proposes policy recommendations to improve the accessibility of high-cost anti-cancer medicines in China.
ObjectiveTo explore the distribution of choroidal thickness and its influence factors in university students.MethodsA cross-sectional study. A total of 896 eyes of 896 college students were included in the study. Among them, there were 350 males (350 eyes) and 546 females (546 eyes). All the eyes were right eyes. The average age was 19.18 ± 1.36 years old. According to the spherical equivalent refraction (SER), the eyes were divided into non-myopia group, low myopia group, moderate myopia group and high myopia group, which were 59, 251, 356 and 230 eyes, respectively. The subfoveal ChT (SFCT) was measured using a swept-frequency source optical coherence tomography scanner. According to the ETDRS, the choroid within 6 mm of the fovea was divided into three concentric circles centered on the fovea of the macula, which were the central area with a diameter of 1 mm, the inner ring area of 1-3 mm and the outer ring area of 3-6 mm. The outer ring area of 3-6 mm has a total of 9 zones. The inner ring and outer ring 4 regions were superior, inferior, nasal and temporal, respectively. The distribution characteristics of ChT in different regions, genders and diopter groups were observed. Bivariate correlation analysis were used to analyze the correlation of ChT and SER, axial length (AL).ResultsThe average SFCT of 896 eyes was 221.28±67.35 μm. The mean SFCT of males and females were 227.20±69.38 and 217.50±65.80 μm, respectively. The difference of SFCT between different genders was statistically significant (t=2.075, P=0.038). Compared with the central region ChT, there was no significant difference in ChT between the outer ring and the outer region (t=0.086, P=0.932). The difference of ChT in other regions was statistically significant (t=-21.973, -5.818, 36.328, -3.065, -18.017, -10.595, 57.007; P＜0.001, ＜0.001, ＜0.001, ＜0.002, ＜0.001, ＜0.001, ＜0.001). In the horizontal direction, ChT gradually thickens from nasal to temporal (F=2 251.558, P＜0.001); in the vertical direction, ChT gradually decreases from superior to the central, but have a little increased from central to inner inferior, then decreased to outer inferior again (F=45.425, P＜0.05). Correlation analysis showed that SFCT was negatively correlated with AL (r=0.478, P＜0.01) and a negative correlation with axial length (r=−0.395, P＜0.01), and positively correlated with SER (r=0.478, P＜0.01). SFCT decreased by 12.29 μm for every in myopic refractive error of 1 D, or by 20.14 μm for every increase in AL of 1 mm.ConclusionsChT is changed by different location. The horizontal direction is gradually thickened from nasal to temporal. The vertical direction is thicker than the center. The inferior inner ring area is thicker than the outer ring area. Gender, SER and AL are the influencing factors of SFCT.
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling and air tamponade in the treatment of idiopathic macular hole (IMH).MethodsA prospective, non-randomized controlled case cohort study. Twenty eyes of 20 patients with IMH in Ophthamology Department of The Second Hospital of Jilin University from September 2016 to January 2017 were included in this study. There were 4 males (4 eyes) and 16 females (16 eyes), with the mean age of 60.60±9.50 years and the mean disease course of 9.55±15.5 months. The stage of macular hole ranged from Ⅱ to Ⅳ. All patients underwent BCVA, intraocular pressure, spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) and multifocal ERG examinations. The BCVA examination was performed using the international standard visual acuity chart, which was converted into logMAR visual acuity. The minimum diameter (MIN), bottom diameter (BD), height (H), the defective diameter of ellipsoid zone, the defective diameter of external limiting membrane (ELM) of the macular hole were measured by SD-OCT (German Heidelberg). Then the macular hole index (MHI=H/BD), hole traction index (THI=MD/BD) and hole diameter index (DHI=H/MD) were calculated. The response density in P1 wave was detected by mf-ERG. The logMAR BCVA was 1.18±0.54. There were 5 eyes with less than 400 μm MIN, 13 eyes with 400-700 μm MIN and 2 eyes with over than 700 μm MIN. All the patients were underwent vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling and air tamponade. According to the SD-OCT image features after surgery, IMH closure was divided into type Ⅰ closed, type Ⅱ closed and unclosed. The follow-up was equal or greater than 3 months. The closure rate of IMH, BCVA and the changes of microstructure parameters of macular area were observed. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between BCVA and the wave response density in P1 before surgery and the efficacy after IMH surgery.ResultsClosure rate of IMH: 18 eyes (90.0%) were completely closed (all type Ⅰ closed). The closure rate of macular hole with the MIN less than 400 μm was 100.0% (5/5), 400-700 μm was 92.3% (12/13), and over than 700 μm was 50% (1/2). BCVA: the mean logMAR BCVA at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months after surgery were 0.83±0.54, 0.65±0.41, 0.48±0.34, and there was statistically significant difference between preoperative and postoperative BCVA (t=3.382, 4.459, 5.250; P=0.003, 0.007, 0.004). The outcomes of SD-OCT at 3 months after surgery: 18 eyes (90.0%) with intact ELM. The defective diameter of ellipsoid zone was 260.34±272.08 μm, there was statistically significant difference between before and after surgery (t=13.545, P=0.002). The outcomes of mf-ERG: the P1 wave response density of the ring 1 and ring 2 after surgery were increased compared with before surgery (t=-16.748, -6.151; P＜0.01,＜0.01). The results of Spearman correlation analysis: there was a positive correlation between postoperative BCVA and preoperative MIN, the defective diameter of ellipsoid zone and ELM, and postoperative the defective diameter of ellipsoid zone (r=0.56, 0.59, 0.68, 0.52; P=0.010, 0.006, 0.001, 0.019). The postoperative BCVA was negatively correlated with the P1 wave response density of ring 1 and ring 2 of mf-ERG (r=－0.34, －0.16; P=0.006, 0.020). The IMH closure had a significant negative correlation with MIN and the defective diameter of ELM (r=－0.449, －0.449; P=0.047, 0.047). MHI and THI were positively correlated with the closure of the hole (r=0.474, 0.546; P=0.035, 0.013). Intraocular pressure increased in 2 eyes during the follow-up period, and returned to normal within 1 week after the administration of antihypertensive drugs. There were no complications during or after the operation.ConclusionsVitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling and air tamponade in the treatment of IMH is safe and effective. The MIN, MHI THI are significantly correlated with the curative effect after IMH surgery, which could be used as the index to predict and evaluate the curative effect. The response density of ring 1 and ring 2 in P1 wave of mf-ERG is signifi-cantly improved compared with before surgery, and which is negatively correlated with BCVA.
ObjectiveTo discuss and analyze the sense of dignity and its influencing factors of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.MethodsPatients with MHD in hemodialysis center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University were selected from November 2019 to January 2020. Patients were selected by convenience sampling. The patients were investigated with Patient Dignity Inventory (PDI), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.ResultsA total of 150 patients were included. The average scores of CD-RISC, anxiety, depression and PDI were 61.20±14.54, 4.97±1.38, 5.90±2.42 and 41.32±16.24, respectively. Among them, 121 cases (80.67%) had mild dignity impairment, 22 cases (14.67%) had moderate dignity impairment, 6 cases (4.00%) had severe dignity impairment, and 1 case (0.67%) had very serious dignity impairment. The results of multiple linear stepwise regression showed that depression, economic burden, social support, and vascular access were all positive predictors of esteem scores (P<0.001).ConclusionsClinical nurses can aim at the main factors affecting the sense of dignity of MHD patients. And individualized nursing plan and intervention measures can be formulated to improve the sense of dignity of patients and improve the quality of life of maintenance hemodialysis patients.
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of health education on hand, foot and mouth disease knowledge of the parents and their psychological status, in order to provide a reference for regulating clinical intervention measures. MethodsBetween October 2011 and February 2013, self-made questionnaire was used to survey the parents of 286 children with hand, foot and mouth disease for their knowledge about the disease. We promoted health education including distributing pamphlets, holding lectures, and carrying out psychological counseling. Then, parents' knowledge and their psychological status were compared before and after the implementation of health education. ResultsAfter health education, parents' suspicion, anxiety, fear, indulgence in children and other negative psychological scores were significantly lower than those before intervention (P<0.05). Their knowledge on the disease was also significantly enhanced (P<0.05). Gender, age and educational background were the main influence factors for health education. ConclusionMulti-form comprehensive health education can enhance parents' knowledge on hand, foot and mouth disease effectively and alleviate various negative psychological situations, which assists them to participate in the treatment work actively, thus greatly promotes early rehabilitation of the child patients.
